Editor’s Note Technology is a constant changing target, wouldn’t you agree? It’s a challenge wearing all the hats needed to run a successful real estate business and keep an eye on how to make the most of social media and electronic gadgets. I think you’ll find this issue a nice balance between promoting your business and tapping the power of social media. The big picture starts with branding. I know that this term gets thrown around a lot, especially in the corporate world. However, your brand is something to take seriously and even press the idea of how you can expand and deepen it with your prospects and clients. Branding is not just for Fortune 500 companies, it includes you too. Fortunately, with the help of social media and technology, you don’t need a Fortune 500 budget to build your brand.

Finally, I want to help you think outside the box when it comes to open houses. I’ll address the dreaded stigma and offer some tips, but overall, you should walk away from this issue with new concepts that can keep you on the edge of mastering social network, online websites and becoming a stronger marketing machine!
